sonia the name given by my ex lover
Daisy is actually comes from a play on my nick name in drab. Daiz -> Daizy -> Daisy.
Diane is the name my parents had picked out for me if I'd been born female. (My mother has said more than once that I should have been born a girl.)
I call myself Cindy,
I used to admired Sir Thomas More, an important adviser to Henry the VIII. He had a home in Chelsea and I have just loved that name. I named my basset hound Chelsea, but I hope I don't look like her. I'm going to change my last name too to my mother's maiden name - Ertel and for a middle I'm taking my mother's middle name - Jean.
Chelsea Jean Ertel
Sometimes you get your name via inspiration. Tiffany seemed appropriate at the time it came to me. I also love what it means.
Shellie because I was hideing in my shell for so long
I have alway been called by my middle name which is Kelly. I have always hated it as a boys name. It seems that all through school there was a cute girl in my class named Kelly, made it a little awkward. I loved Kelly as a girls name so I figured it was a good female name for me. No confusion when I'm dressed the wife just calls me Kelley
At first, I went with Beth who was my first crush in 3rd grade. About 5 years ago, I started going by Alyson because of a picture I saw of Alyson Hannigan where we were ironically dressed the same way(red hair and all). So, I started going by that and actually like it better then Beth
I was the third of 3 boys, my parents wanted a girl (little did they know they had one) and my name was suppose to be Rhonda Ann.
I chose Melanie because I have a pretty aunt with that name.
Family friends had a daughter Presciila who was very pretty, so when as a young teen I began dressing I imagined I was as pretty as her.
I should like to point out this was 40+ years ago before " Prescilla the movie".
I didn't have to choose a feminine name. I was given the name, Cristine. Growing up I hide my beautiful name because of being teased so much in childhood. So I went by Cris all through adulthood. I am just coming to peace and embracing my feminine name as well as my feminine self.
When I was a young crossdresser my sister was always trying to come up with a movie star name for herself. It got my imagination going about a girls name for myself.I think I went through a hundred names. My mother always called me by a feminized version of my first name (I really hated it) when she was about to dress me up as a girl for my Cub Scout skits for Pack meeting. Now when I came out to my wife latter in life I still had not chosen a name to go by until joining some other forums.
The name I chose has some irony; I chose the name because of that. Shaylee has it's origin from Irish roots and obscure legends. It seems in the very early stories of fairies (the ones with wings) one of the names they used for them was "Shaylee". Also they appeared to all be girls even though they had no gender. The Irish had to be very care with their boys so the fairies would not steal them. The fairies placed a high value on boys so as to do their manual labor for the them. When they became to old to manage they would turn them into girls and send them home. Thus I chose my name from from characters that appeared to be a female but really wasn't. And as stories go things got changed and it was more romantic in the Victorian age to have fairies more benevolent to humans so the story changes.
Also just a sideline up to the World War I, in some of the rural areas of Ireland the families used to dress their young boys as girls. They would put a boarder around the bottom of the skirt so everyone would know that it was a boy and not a girl and the girls did not have the boarder. that was the only apparent difference, I guess the secret was kept from the fairies because they found no value in girls as they did in boys. So the boys were safely hidden from the fairies in plain site until boys were at an age where they could not be managed by the fairies and/or could protect themselves from the fairies.
So I'm either a Fairy who looks like a girl or a boy who is hiding from Fairies that dresses like a girl, either way it fits me.
I just wanted something that sounded girly and feminine. I thought Jessica sounded quite sexy too!?
I chose the name Henna, as it was the name of my first girlfriend a long time ago :)
I also like the name much, as it's pronounced so softly in my native language.
Sarah was tha name my parents would have given me if I was a girl, also coincidentally the first girl I ever had relations with. It has always been a name that sounds beautiful to me.
I chose Cara because my last GF and a very important part of my life, even if we barely speak now. Although her name was spelled Kara. I just thought I'd switch it up. It is a very beautiful name as well.
I mentioned mine in a previous thread that's rolled off...
My mother had only three boys, and never got to use the first and middle names she wanted to give a girl, "Amy Gale." I (her firstborn) have given those names a home. (She might have spelled the middle name "Gail," but I like the "Gale" spelling better. For that matter, she might have spelled the first name "Aimee"...)
My femme last name, "Tapie," I took from my mother's mother's maiden name. I'm not sure Grandma would understand, but it felt right.
My other middle name, "Ruth," comes from the name of the first mesh avatar developed for Second Life. For a long time, there was a glitch where your shape would fail to be sent to other people's viewers when you teleported in, so you would appear with Ruth's shape. We called it "getting Ruthed." The effect could be hilarous, especially on a nominally-male avatar. They've since eliminated that glitch, by leaving you as a white blob of mist until your shape catches up, but you can still get the original "Ruth" shape from the library.
One of the things I enjoy doing is practicing signing my femme name. It looks neater than my male signature does. :)
- Amy
Am from India, the short of my real name is Jessi .. that name being andro.. kind of got stuck with me as my femme name... but I extended to Jessica, because I just it was more appropriate <giggles>
xoxo
There is no special significance to Melissa, I simply have always liked it and found it beautiful.
Marcy is very similar to my male name, I think it is very feminine, plus I just like it. Incidentally, me feminine personality started to come out much more strongly when I "gave birth" to Marcy recently, not sure if having a female name caused this or not, but I am much happier now.
Marcy
Ssoonnaa name is what l like ... This. The name of best friend girl for me when I was 6years old
I'm new to the forum and the community. I have never even considered a female name before and I am very excited to be thinking about it now. Brain is alive with ideas. :)
It is great to be in the position to pick the name you fancy eh? To me it seems that many people go for the femme version of their given name. Others pick the name of some girl they admired in the past. I, for one, went for the femme Italian version of my given name - it is now legally my real name.Quote:

amy i used later because i always liked it.
kelly is what i go by currently - it's just another name i always liked.
I used to think "Arianna" was nice. But later when I started to buy clothes online, I needed a name for my Amazon account, and decided to go with something new. I had seen the name "Camille" in a book not long before, and most importantly didn't know any women with that name. So I registered as "Camille Green" (I chose "Green" from Rachel Green on Friends). I thought it was a pretty name, and I like names with double letters. I've stuck with it since.
Awww that's easy,,, I used my name,,, just changed the Y to an I, figured it would cut down on cnfusion.
My name is Ashleigh. I have wanted this name since second grade!
Cheyenne was the name of my best friend growing up. he was my horse and I loved him. (I named him)
MssHyde to me was a natural last name
I know this is a bit strange, but I stole my name from an episode of FRIENDS where Chandler talks about his fathers stage name. In the delivery that only Chandler Bing has, the line is something like "yeah...she's A MAN.......duuuhhh!"
My name was given by my mother when she though I was going to be born as a girl.
I'm new to this forum and have not thought about having a girl name for myself. Kind of big step, admitting I'm a cross dresser and my girl name is "______". I guess I need to give this some thought. Does everyone have an avatar name and if so how far into your dressing did you decide to name yourself? Hmmmmmm........
Had a long think (like you do) and had a short list of similar names... some people randomly call me Sue because of some random incident a while ago. I however like Gemma as it's not too distant from my male name and sounds lovely...although there are loads of pretty/nice female names!
I've always like the name Lisa.
Tonya is my name: (Anthony) Tony A. When I am ready for a name change, I will change it officially to Toni, but may still go by Tonya.
Anya is somewhat like my real name, only said by someone underwater. Which is a good metaphor (for learning to swim, not drowning!) I originally went with Anja, but I think most Americans would get screwed up with the pronunciation.
I wanted to put together two names into one. After searching long and hard for a sexy sounding foreign name, I came up with Rosabella and love it.
For the longest time i did this with out the use of a name. Back in college, I had a friend named Meghan. I said hmmm, I like that name so for a long time that is the name that I used. Well, I eventually got married and came out to my wife prior to us getting married. She was okay with it and very supportive. Then one day I was all dressed up and we were planning on going out for an adventure. She asked, "What shall I call you, do you have a femme name that you used? She didnt want to make a mistake and call me by my male name. I told her that i had been using Meghan. She had met my friend in the past, but didnt think the name fit me. So, I asked who do I look like to you? She replied..."Rachel, you look like a Rachel." I think it was the hair and my femme personallity that reminded her of Rachel Aniston in Friends. I like the name and and it stuck with me since.
I first started thinking about being a girl as a teenager in the early 90's. At the time, I was madly in love with Nicole Eggert's character on Charles In Charge - I've been Jamie ever since :)
I would go with Lacy if I had to pick one. Always liked that name
Sarah was the girl next door who climbed trees AND wore pretty dresses. I just wanted to be her.
I took the easy way out - "Julie" is close to my "other" name, plus I like it! Julie Newmar, Julie Andrews, to name a few.
Casey, always loved the name, and the name of a friend as a child
There was a girl named Kyla that I had a crush on years ago. She was so perfectly feminine. Since then I've always liked the name. It's short, simple, and fem sounding.
Not real happy with Annie M not really attached to it, just my nom de plume for now. My mother liked Tracy Ann M and was expecting a girl, but she was over ruled by my dad and grandmother when I turned out to be a boy. Too bad really it would have worked either way.
I chose Jerri...easy to remember :-)
Well I wanted a very girly name like Missy, but it was taken. Therefore Missygirl.
I love all things British and Wendy seemed a very British name. Also I have a GG friend who is named Wendy and she is just the kind of woman I want to be. She is very pretty and always dresses fashionably and her makeup is to die for.
